2.9. ioctl CEC_DQEVENT¶
2.9.1. Name¶
CEC_DQEVENT - Dequeue a CEC event
2.9.2. Synopsis¶
-
CEC_DQEVENT¶
int ioctl(int fd, CEC_DQEVENT, struct cec_event *argp)
2.9.3. Arguments¶
fd
File descriptor returned by
open()
.
argp
2.9.4. Description¶
CEC devices can send asynchronous events. These can be retrieved by
calling CEC_DQEVENT()
. If the file descriptor is in
non-blocking mode and no event is pending, then it will return -1 and
set errno to the EAGAIN
error code.
The internal event queues are per-filehandle and per-event type. If there is no more room in a queue then the last event is overwritten with the new one. This means that intermediate results can be thrown away but that the latest event is always available. This also means that is it possible to read two successive events that have the same value (e.g. two CEC_EVENT_STATE_CHANGE events with the same state). In that case the intermediate state changes were lost but it is guaranteed that the state did change in between the two events.

type cec_event_state_change¶
__u16 |
|
The current physical address. This is |
__u16 |
|
The current set of claimed logical addresses. This is 0 if no logical
addresses are claimed or if |
__u16 |
|
If non-zero, then HDMI connector information is available.
This field is only valid if |
-
type cec_event_lost_msgs¶
__u32 |
|
Set to the number of lost messages since the filehandle was opened or since the last time this event was dequeued for this filehandle. The messages lost are the oldest messages. So when a new message arrives and there is no more room, then the oldest message is discarded to make room for the new one. The internal size of the message queue guarantees that all messages received in the last two seconds will be stored. Since messages should be replied to within a second according to the CEC specification, this is more than enough. |

type cec_event¶
__u64 |
|
Timestamp of the event in ns. The timestamp has been taken from the To access the same clock from userspace use |

|
Event flags, see CEC Event Flags. |
union { |

The new adapter state as sent by the CEC_EVENT_STATE_CHANGE event. |

The number of lost messages as sent by the CEC_EVENT_LOST_MSGS event. |

1 |
Set for the initial events that are generated when the device is
opened. See the table above for which events do this. This allows
applications to learn the initial state of the CEC adapter at

2 |
Set if one or more events of the given event type have been dropped. This is an indication that the application cannot keep up. |
2.9.5. Return Value¶
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the errno
variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
Generic Error Codes chapter.
The ioctl CEC_DQEVENT can return the following error codes:
- EAGAIN
This is returned when the filehandle is in non-blocking mode and there are no pending events.
- ERESTARTSYS
An interrupt (e.g. Ctrl-C) arrived while in blocking mode waiting for events to arrive.
